Ibanez Gio GSR205SMCNB Bass Guitar - Spalted Maple, Charcoal Brown Burst

The spalted maple top on this GSR205SM makes every single bass unique -- the natural grain patterns mean no two look exactly alike. It is a genuinely eye-catching instrument that looks like it should cost significantly more than it does. Under the visual upgrade, you get the proven GSR205 platform with its mahogany body, active pickups, and comfortable Gio neck.

The Charcoal Brown Burst finish highlights the organic character of the spalted maple beautifully. Tonally, you are getting the same warm mahogany core with active Phat II EQ for dialing in your low end, plus enough output to hold your own in a band. If you want a 5-string bass that gets compliments at every gig without emptying your savings, this is a fantastic option.
